Somehow Andre Roberson decided that he wanted to shoot fourteen shots in this game, a career high in field goals attempted. The Hawks were probably leaving him alone to a greater degree than other teams leave him alone. I guess he kind of made them pay for ignoring him on defense? He made five of…

Seth Curry has rebounded a bit from his slow start this season. His three point percentage is still way down from last year (36% vs 45%), but if he keeps shooting 2-of-3 from distance like he did in this game, he should get there by the end of the season. Unfortunately for him, the Mavericks…

Explain to me why I would go to all the trouble of making a hashtag when no one is going to use it. Explain that to me. Because I can’t understand it. Gary Harris is playing well now, and there should be a lot of people excited for him. Even if there aren’t many fans…

Not only that, but this player added a three-point shot over the offseason. You would certainly be hyped for such a player, were they to exist. You…
